Talk:Taboo

Why aren't Harry Ronald and Hermione not traced when Hermione says his name "They are all about Voldemort", when they discover the room of RAB in Grimmauld Place (Siriuses brother)?

They were inside the protection of the Fidelius Charm at Grimmauld Place. That magic must be stronger than the magic surrounding breaking the Taboo. --Hcoknhoj 10:26, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

voldemort taboo

Harry says voldemort in the tent, and they get found out but hermione enchantened the tent with all of those other protection spells such as protego which is one of the most powerful protection spells she also uses other protection spells. So why do they get found out?

The magic that accompanies the Taboo breaks defensive spells. Ron says so after he comes back when he tells them about the taboo. Also, if alerted to their position with the weight of the Ministry behind them the Snatchers could use terrible magic. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 20:30, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Other meanings to Taboo

Would be possible that Taboo isn't a magic to localize someone who says a particular word? I think that Taboo is something in the wizarding world (a type of magic) that the people are prohibited to talk about or it can happen something bad. For example: If there were a Taboo on the word "magic", when someone said this word, something bad could happen, like be hurt. In my opinion, after the Ministry fell to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, they took control of The Trace, so they could modify the Taboo to a tracking spell, or they united Taboo with The Trace, then it became a tracking spell.
